My friend and I are going to be dealing with the headgaskets in my Buick this weekend. They're starting to go south at 135k, which with the 3100 is pretty typical. What else should I be looking for with the engine torn down? My mom, the primary driver of the vehicle is worried it will strand her an...

Let's say we rule out the clutch and the Amish transmission.

Seems tummy the factory uses a self-adjusting clutch cable on your musclestang. That will mean that the clutch release bearing is always in contact with the fingers on the clutch cover diaphragm spring, so whenever the engine is spinning, the bearing will be spinning. That being said, the bearing lo...

The batteries tend to be built-in, so they are protected and their mass is centrally located and fastened firmly to ride out a crash. They weigh hundreds of pounds as well and are unique to the design of the car. Not ever really intended to be changed on short notice by they guy they hire to sell lo...

5 Don’t dress your SAABs in wings or side pipes (optional). Cars with little wings and side pipes, though cute, may just indicate a skewed sense of priorities regarding your car. Feel free to spruce up your car for Christmas with greenery or lights, but regularly spending money on racer-wanna-be acc...

4 Avoid the SAAB theme. Keep the SAAB theme to a minimum when accessorizing your house and clothes. A few photos of your SAAB at the office or at home is fine, but plastering SAABs all over the home will give visitors the wrong idea. • SAAB clothing or backpacks are cute! However, make sure to think...

3 Talk about a variety of subjects. If you only ever talk about your SAABs, most people are going to assume that you are a “SAAB Guy.” There’s no problem with mentioning your SAABs, particularly to fellow SAAB lovers, but avoid making them your constant topic of conversation. You may drive away pote...

2 Keep hobbies outside of SAABs. Owning a SAAB is a fun and rewarding activity. However, make sure you pursue interests outside of your SAAB as well. Staying well rounded and participating in other activities outside of your SAAB will keep you in touch with others socially and let you meet new peopl...
